This printed t-shirt from Topshop is a bit of a corker. Showcasing a pug, wearing a shiny pair of specs in what can only be described as canine librarian chic.

Pugs, whilst not the most immediately pleasing of animals, are nevertheless hugely popular. I rather like this tee. It seems to allude to the  hidden depths of the breed, that there’s more to it than first meets the eye. Or am I reading too much into it? Is it just a t-shirt with a dog in specs? Anyway, it’s only £18, and it’s from Topshop, so if you like pugs, or librarians, then this is the t-shirt for you!

Finally, and I can’t honestly say I’m all that sad about it, the Boden backlash has begun. The clothing company which provided us with the ubiquitous yummy mummy uniform, complete with matching hotpotch kids and ultra cash hubbies has finally been deemed far too smug. Little titbits of trivia about the models together with a Cameron-esque lifestyle has fallen out of favour with the middle classes. Where once Boden offered great quality and longevity of fabrics, it’s never been great value for money, and Primark is cheaper. A lot.

Still,  Boden is having the last laugh. Figures show  profits  of over 30 million this year and there are plans to expand into Europe and Japan.

So whilst people might be criticising, they’re obviously still buying, and I don’t think  Johnnie Boden is running scared yet!

Just some thoughts I had today in t-shirts…

or should that be…..

(and a microwave) How about

Nice to know the government are making an extra £32 million in revenue. No wonder they’re encouraging everyone to fill up. How about this?

And since the whole fuel crisis seems to be overshadowing the cash for access scandal, and Cameron riding Murdoch’s old nag, do you think your tee should be saying

Oh, I could spend all day on this. Have a play on our t-shirt template and personalise your own slogan of the day for a t-shirt, mug or mousemat. But hurry, panic buying is the new window shopping didn’t you know!

This could be the tee that ends all of your work clothes crises. Or maybe it’s the tee which would just be the kiss of death for your career. Either way, this is a masterpiece of t-shirt design. It is a t-shirt, with a tie and handkerchief already printed on, so that it looks like a shirt. Amazing, huh? No ironing that hanky, no tying that tie, hey! not buttoning up the shirt even. This is the sartorial equivalent of getting a rubbery cheeseburger at the Ritz. Maybe not your everyday style choice, but kind of fun in a weird way.

It comes courtesy of Italian company Koolto, along with a whole range of equally nifty designs. Take a look, you know you want to!

The T-shirt of Dorian Grey?

I did have to have a little smile at this pap snap of Rod Stewart’s latest tall, blond wife, Penny Lancaster. The lovely kind lady that she is, she is sporting a vintage t-shirt with a lovely print of her hubby on it. What a loyal girl. And yet, how old is that t-shirt? That is definitely the recognisable smoulder of the  Rod Stewart of yore, with his shirt buttoned down and ready to go. It must be from at least three wives ago. Is Penny happy that she’s got him so far down the line?

I wish she had a little slogan to go with the t-shirt. Just  to flag up that she’s being ironic. Something along the lines of “Maggie May not, but Penny still would” or “In my dreams”. Oh there’s so many things she could come up with. What a spoilsport!

This is a brilliant t-shirt from the ASOS Collection. A very simplistic design which is great fun, and more than a little bit saucy too.

ASOS has to be one of my favourite  sites for t-shirts; their range is always varied and up to the minute, and this tee is typical of their light-hearted sense of humour. At only £18, it’s a great spring number. Wear it with jeans, and some sunshine and wait for the comments about your glasses to roll in!

Urban Outfitters have been at it again, apparently. Causing outrage and upset, shock and ….er…..more shock. A range of t-shirt slogans for St Patrick’s Day have got the cult clothing brand into steaming hot water with a group of Irish Americans who have branded the label “arrogant and disrespectful”. Oops!

Slogans such as “I’m a F**king Leprechaun” and “Kiss Me. I’m Drunk, or Irish, Or Whatever” have received mixed responses in the US where they are hugely popular and hugely unpopular, depending on your sense of humour. Needless to say, the controversial garments will sell incredibly well after all the hype and criticism they have generated. After all, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, right?

My coffee shot out of my mouth and landed on the screen in front of me when I saw this t-shirt. A marvel, from the ever marvellous Snorgtees. A mixture of the old and new, with a lovely scene from the Wizard of Oz offset with a novel interpretation of a song title by Jay-Z, aka Mr Beyonce. The original “99 Problems but the Bitch Ain’t One” is given a sublime twist with this t-shirt, possibly the most far removed thing you can get from the squeaky clean Oz, and is going straight to the top of my favourite t-shirt list.

With all the Oscar’s being pretty predictable last night, it was quite understandable that the biggest buzz of the evening was about Angelina Jolie’s leg. The actress with the best genes in Tinseltown wore a strapless Versace number from which popped her lithe right leg every few seconds, as she struck dramatic pose after dramatic pose on the red carpet. Like a beautiful long white and very toned gate crasher, the leg took centre stage with Jolie being an exquisite yet superfluous frame when the rest of the actress presented the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The leg was such a prominent part of the evening, it set up it’s own Twitter account, which already has 10,000 followers. And surely with such a dedicated fanbase, it should have it’s own t-shirt. Some have suggested that the right leg was given such prominance simply because she had forgotted to shave the left one. But this is utter tosh. The night belonged to Angie’s right leg, and don’t you forget it Meryl!

I read a terrible story this morning about a Spanish lady who has been arrested for posting a photo of herself on Facebook wearing a t-shirt proclaiming that her ex husband was what might roughly be translated as an a**ehole. The ex hubby saw his former wife wearing a t-shirt she had allegedly bought on holiday with her new boyfriend (“for a joke”), and promptly sued her for dignitary tort and ruining his reputation. (Although to be fair, if she’s the one wearing the t-shirt, wouldn’t it just make her look silly? And why was she still friends with him on Facebook if he’s such a git? Questions you might ask yourself)

However he sued and sued until she was fined a thousand Euros and was held under house arrest for 8 days. And the moral of this story is…..be very careful what you post on Facebook. And if you can’t be careful, make sure you know a good lawyer!
